I could break you with just one glance,
Perhaps I should- given the chance...

Inflict all the pain you've given me,
I'll make you love, make you believe,
Only to find that you were deceived.

Take your trusting heart in my hands,
Fill your soul with selfish demands,
Say things that you'll never understand,
Then crush you as only I can.

Drain you soul with bitter lies,
Until your pain you can't disguise,
Then leave you on your own to cry.

Or maybe I'll just go on with my life,
Cut down your ego(sharper than a knife)


 Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

The later would be my choise
If i had a say
But I'm sure everyone has they own way
Your poem nice it's done
I can surely say that I don't want to be the one
In neither case


 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Devina this poem has such a beauiful flow.
I liked the line "crush you as only I can" and then you said "or maybe I'll just go on with my life."  very nice.   James

Devina, I really enjoyed this piece, especially the last two lines.

Wow, just the kind of uplifting poem I needed to hear right now....LOL  Just kidding, Devina.  This was very "sharp" to say the least - the last couple of lines really pack a punch.

Devina:
What happened in your life?  Are you holding anything back?  I like your "passions"!
